Falcao has been strongly linked with a return to the Spanish capital though any deal may hinge on whether they can offload Angel Di Maria to Paris Saint-Germain.

13.10 BST News has reached us of a surprising transfer in Germany where Schalke centre-back Kyriakos Papadopoulos is on the verge of joining Bayer Leverkusen on loan.

12.45 BST DONE DEAL! Newcastle United have completed the signing of Facundo Ferreyra from Shakhtar Donetsk.

The 23-year-old Argentine striker joins on a season-long loan -- with view to a permanent transfer at the end of season -- after refusing to report back to Ukraine due to the hostile political situation in the country.

Magpies manager Alan Pardew told the club's website: "Facundo is someone we know on a number of levels, including his friendship with Fabricio [Coloccini], and we think he could be a big success here at Newcastle.

"This is a player who has played at the top level and is highly-regarded in Argentina. He has tremendous potential and hopefully he can realise that here at Newcastle United."

12.35 BST Cardiff City have rejected a five million pound bid from Queens Park Rangers for midfielder Jordon Mutch.

The 22-year-old impressed during the Bluebirds' debut campaign in the Premier League last season and was their top scorer, contributing seven goals.

12.25 BST Chase the Bony! Swansea chairman Huw Jenkins says that the club will not stand in Wilfried Bony's way if a "top Champions League club" (sorry Tottenham fans) makes a sizeable offer for the Ivory Coast international.

"Up front we need three strikers and we have three strikers. Torres will not leave. Their different qualities are very important," he told the club's website.

"We do need one player to leave because we have 18 foreign players and you can only have 17. We must make that decision between me, the board and the player involved.

"It will be a tough one because our squad is stable. It has the right numbers."

Jose Mourinho insists Fernando Torres will not be leaving Chelsea this summer.

11.20 BST Southampton are the latest club to express an interest in signing Stoke City goalkeeper Jack Butland.

New Saints boss Ronald Koeman has made it no secret that he is in the market for a new No.1 and he has already been denied in his efforts to sign Celtic shotstopper Fraser Forster.

However, the versatile Ryan Shotton and American winger Brek Shea have both been told they can leave the Potters this summer, either on loan or on permanent deals.

11.10 BST Newcastle are preparing to raid their fierce Tyneside rivals Sunderland for the second time this summer.

Eto'o, 33, is also a transfer target for Tottenham and Allardyce hopes to resolve the situation before the new Premier League season kicks off on August 16.

"Everyone is trying extremely hard -- especially the chairmen," Allardyce said after West Ham's penalty shootout win over Schalke yesterday, as quoted by London24.

Wenger told reporters after Arsenal's 5-1 Emirates Cup win over Benfica yesterday that he was still in the market for one or two players and he holds a significant advantage over Manchester United as he can offer the prospect of Champions League football while already boasting a strong German contingent.

Arsenal are prepared to rival Manchester United for the signing of German centre-back Mats Hummels

10.30 BST It just didn't work out Ricky van Wolfswinkel at Norwich, did it? The Dutch striker joined the Canaries from Sporting Lisbon last summer for a club record fee of 8.5 million pounds, but he was a huge disappointment, registering just one goal and one assist in 25 appearances.

Guilavogui joined Diego Simeone's side last summer from Saint-Etienne but he was loaned back to Les Verts for the second half of last season after failing to establish himself in Spain.

AS says that Wolfsburg have agreed a 14.5 million euro fee with the Spanish champions for Guilavogui who will travel to Germany in the coming days to undergo a medical and agree personal terms.

Could that pave the way for Arsenal target Luis Gustavo to leave Wolfsburg? Time will tell...

09.25 BST Could Jermaine Jones be heading to the MLS? The German-born USA international is currently without a club following the expiry of his Besiktas contract earlier this summer and Chicago Fire are determined to make the midfielder their designated player.

The 32-year-old, who scored one of the goals of the 2014 World Cup against Portugal, reportedly turned down the Fire's initial offer but head coach Frank Yallop is hopeful of tying up a deal to bring the 46-times capped American to Toyota Park.

"I spoke to Jermaine yesterday and wanted to put forward our club and what we thought of him and we would love [for] him to join us," Yallop told reporters after Chicago Fire's 1-1 draw with Columbus Crew.

"So I've done that, he hasn't officially turned down our offer because we've not had anything back, so we're still waiting. It was a big offer, Andrew [Hauptman, club owner] stepped up and put out a good contract offer, he's thinking about it and we'll probably find out about it in the next couple of days."

Transfer talk starts off with what could be a mutually beneficial chain of events...

However, before we get on to the rumours and speculation, here's news that Manuel Pellegrini has confirmed that Frank Lampard will join Manchester City on loan until January.

OK, where were we?

Juventus want Chicharito

Juventus are desperate for a striker. Manchester United are crying out for a central midfielder. Tuttosport has a solution -- Javier Hernandez is in The Old Lady's sights. Did anyone say "swap deal!" Makes sense, right? United would need to offer some cash as well as the "Little Pea," but if they really do want to get the Arturo Vidal deal over the line, using Hernandez as bait could well swing it. But we won't hold our breath -- Hernandez also reminded Louis van Gaal of his worth with a well-taken goal against Real Madrid in Manchester United's friendly win on Saturday.

Incidentally, Chilean newspaper El Mercurio has a double-page spread on this saga, and they reckon Vidal's agent is ready to negotiate a move to United. Wake us up when it's all over; Transfer Talk is actually starting to long for Luis Suarez rumours again...

What?! Another Southampton star set to leave

Will the last player to leave Southampton please turn out the lights? The Daily Telegraph reckons the big, south-coast exodus could continue with goalkeeper Artur Boruc's switch to Bayern Munich.

Yep, incredibly, it seems as though the German champions are keen on Boruc -- but only as cover for undisputed No. 1 Manuel Neuer. Southampton are trying to sign Fraser Forster, which could limit Boruc's chances of starting every week for Ronald Koeman's side. Presumably, if he has to sit on the bench, he'd rather do it for the Bundesliga heavyweights.

Barcelona still busy

Luis Enrique is eager to make his mark at Barcelona, and he's still ready to make a splash in the market if SPORT is to be believed. They reckon the Nou Camp chief still has Juan Cuadrado and Marquinhos in his sights.

And in an intriguing development, the report also claims the two Manchester giants are after Fiorentina's Cuadrado. He won't come cheap -- 35 million euros, apparently -- but that's "performed well at the World Cup" tax for you.

Elsewhere from SPORT, Liverpool's Daniel Agger is said to be an option for the Camp Nou, with an agreement reportedly in place to sign the centre-back. Having recruited half of Southampton, Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers is said to be open to offers for Agger.

Madrid after a right-back

It's not all about signing glitzy, headline-grabbing players; sometimes, you need hard-working, solid members of the team to help your quest for glory.

That might explain why Carlo Ancelotti is seeking a move for AC Milan's Mattia De Sciglio. Marca have the scoop, but the Real Madrid boss might have to do some schmoozing to get his man, as the report claims De Sciglio is happy where he is.

Isla's off to QPR

It could be a bit of a coup for Queens Park Rangers, this. Mauricio Isla is leaving Serie A champions Juventus on loan for Harry Redknapp's R's.
